CHATSWORTH, Calif. — On June 1, Sunny Rodgers led the Couple and Sex Therapy Training Program lecture series for UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine.

Rodgers is the brand manager and sexual health educator for Pipedream Products, JimmyJane and Sir Richard’s, and has earned her certification as a clinical sexologist. Rodgers’ lecture specifically covered how pleasure products can be used in the psychiatric and medical fields.

According to a representative, for the past 45 years the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA has been offering a Couple and Sex Therapy Training Program lecture series to help train psychiatric residents and mental health professionals.

“I am excited I was able to share so much valuable information with residents and professionals about all the benefits that intimate products can provide,” Rodgers said. “The staff has already asked me to participate in the lecture series next year and I’m looking forward to making my participation a tradition.”

The lecture series is overseen by the American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists (AACAST), an organization dedicated to the “education, training, promotion and expansion of integrated skills and knowledge for couples and sex therapy.”

“Sunny was awesome and the students loved her,” said Dr. Wendy Cherry, co-director of the Couples and Sex Therapy Training Program and co-founder of AACAST. “We are very pleased that she can lecture for us.”
